My views on Today! A lot of errors!

Today's episode was laughable to me. More research needs to be done about these styles of dancing. Its hilarious how wrong most of the descriptions were. Being from a hip hop dance background personally, most of the performance were laughable to me.


Dharmesh: 8/10
I dont like Dharmesh but I do feel he was the best today. Lyrical hip hop looks easy but its certainly not. Although most of the time he was dancing to the "beat" and not the lyrics. But even though it went against his challenge he did hit the beats hard! Im surprised nobody caught that. Usually in Lyrical you only dance to the beats once or twice but his was....lyric-lyric-beat-beat. which isnt right.

Shakti: 7/10:
Her wacking section was the best. But it was still not good enough. It needed to look more feminine. Everything else was okay. Very elementary and basic as someone said before. She didnt really look confident either. Her popping section was underdeveloped.

Wacking IS NOT the "female version of locking or popping" as Remo said. Wacking is a form that is inspired from Voguing and House dance. Its a dance form that is popular in the Gay community. As it takes hip hop and adds a feminie flare to it. Shakti did good but even though she IS A FEMALE, the moves needed a little bit more feminity. But based on her background and exposure she did extremely well! Its not her fault that the form was not thoroughly researched.

Saajan: 6/10
He was alright, But he left the show at the right time bcuz I was getting really bored of him. He's sort of stayed at the same level for the entire show. He hasn't really improved.


Amar 6/10
He was okay. It seemed like he needed a bit more practise. He is good in hip hop but the bboying was a little awkward. He didnt seem fast enough. But it wasnt too bad.

Amrita 6/10
Okay Geeta needs to do her research. She did the aggressive thing very well but Krumping wasn't really shown. She didnt really krump. With Krumping your back needs to pump in and out while having tension in the body! Your back needs to hit in and out very sharp and intensely, al ot of people get spinal injuries becasue of this dance thats how hard-hitting its SUPPOSED TO BE. But if ur gonna krump, do it properly!.....And your not supposed to use any propz. The aggression is supposed to be shown thru your dance moves and attitude. The attitude was there........the correct dance form WASNT........

Here is a good example of what krumping is:

Binny 4/10
Okay what the hell was that? Her tutting was disgusting. Her hands were not even STRAIGHT. Her hands are supposed to be completely stretched and the movements has to be sharp and intensense. I dont care if she hasnt done it before, these are supposedly the "best" dancers in India. And her expressions were too "look at me mommy look what im doing". Seriously, get this girl out of the competition.


Punit 3/10
I felt like this performance was an insult to MJ. First of all, Punit's expressions were too over the top and too "indian". The girls from last year did a better job than him. I dont even know what to say! So I just wont say anything else!!!!!

Geeta screwed up on all of hers. Seriously wth is wrong with her? Doesnt she know anything? How is she a choreographer?

I did feel bad for Saajan being eliminated! I dont know why I just feel like Remo never utitlized him to his full potential ( like what Terence did with Jack)......I think he thought that his stunts will take him far......I wish he put half the effort he's putting into Punit into Saajan....He surely would've gone far and could've easily been the best dancer on the show with the right guidance!

wow, ur post is rlly informative and insightful! 👍🏼

Ditto! I love your extensive explanation of each dance form. I has given one too but just the basics. I am glad u spoke up in details, but unfortunately many won't really look into it only because they have their own beliefs and favorites. Anyways, thanks Bunty! :)

Bunty's explanation about Dharmesh's Lyrical Hip-hop contradicts your comments on the same! Looks like you missed it. 😛

Haha nope sorry Akanna, I still stand by Dharmesh's lyrical hip hop. Yes buntys explanation for lyrical hip hop is correct and pretty much exactly what I wrote in my little briefing of different hip hop styles. I mentioned that Dharmeshs wasn't as good as Amars but it was different and had a feel good mood to it. I loved his rhythmic timing and his beat timing. :)

every one in the forum & on the show was prasing shakti & amrita..........& i felt i am the only one who hardly noticed any dance in their performance.........especially amrita.....for the whole performance......i was wondering....when she will start dancing???she was full of expressions & attitude....& i thought its was krumping..........& she has done superb....but now i realized it,thanks to u...

2)seriously do not liked binny's performance.....she deserves to go out next...........she has taken this competition for granted

This is from YOUR posts -- "Dharmesh (9.5)— I loved his performance. As much as I say i want to see Dharmesh do other styles, I honestly just LOVE watching him do HIp hop!! Lyrical Hip hop is not really Dharmesh's genre, BUT he was perfect. I'm not surprised that he was because even though he is a pop & locker, he has the flow for lyrical hip hop, which most of us might agree on. The DOLL concept was amazing. Dharmesh was actually romantic & expressive, which made me love this dance even more! lol GREAT JOB!! =)" and in another thread, you said -- "Actually, what Dharmesh did was fully Lyrical Hip Hop. You have to be crisp and rhythmic, which he was. His movement was very smooth and light, the way it needs to be according to the lyrics. And this time, Dharmesh was actually very expressive and did very well."

This is what Bunty had said in this thread -- "Dharmesh 8/10 -- I dont like Dharmesh but I do feel he was the best today. Lyrical hip hop looks easy but its certainly not. Although most of the time he was dancing to the "beat" and not the lyrics. But even though it went against his challenge he did hit the beats hard! Im surprised nobody caught that. Usually in Lyrical you only dance to the beats once or twice but his was....lyric-lyric-beat-beat. which isnt right"

See the underlined parts in both sets of comments! And if you are still going to argue that you both had the same opinions, then maybe you can fool others here. I rest my case, whether you agree or not, as I have my answers already!! 😊

Very details discussion on the forms. Thanks for the info. Seems like you are a dancer yourself. Most of the things u said, I agree.

Wow. You clearly have a lot of knowledge on hip hop.
